  1. Urban wind turbines in The Netherlands Yigall Schilp, Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment Henry Terlouw, Municipality of The Hague Jadranka Cace, RenCom Commissioner’s Forum: Urban Wind Turbines July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC

  2. Planning wind energy on a national level Yigall Schilp policy makerspatial planner, Mscproject: windenergy on land July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 2

  3. The Netherlands in Europe July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 3

  4. Dutch Facts • Over 16,5 million inhabitants • Capital: Amsterdam • Surface area: 42.000 KM2 (roughly 1/3 the size of NY State) • Very densely populated  spatial planning important Planning system July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 4

  5. Organization July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 5

  6. EU sustainability goals • In 2020: • Reduction CO2 emissions by 30% • Renewable energy 20% percent of total energyuse July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 6

  7. Project “Windenergy on land” (1) • Large scale wind turbines • Now 2000MW on land and 230MW at sea • 6000MW on land in 2020 and 6000MW at sea in 2020 July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 7

  8. Project “Windenergy on land” (2) • Small turbines ( up to 15m) • National objectives for small turbines: • At least: less obstructional policies • At most: stimulating policies • Use small turbines for social basis/acceptance July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 8

  9. Small turbines (1) • Current obstructional policies • In Environmental bill (detailed rules and procedures for environmental permit) • In building permit (hard to get without certification) • In zoning plan (long and expensive procedure to change) July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 9

  10. Small turbines (2) • Planned stimulating policies • Easier to get environmental permit (strike few regulations per 1/1 2011) • Easier to build (building permit easier with certification) • Experiments for changing rules and regulations (Crisis and Recovery Bill) • 6 municipalities • Mini turbine (max 10m) for a period of 10 years • First step: non-residential areas • Permanent evaluation • Goal: change unnecessary rules and regulations July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 10

  11. Small turbines (3) • Goal: Gain social basis for wind energy in general • …Contribute to sustainable image / Likeability-factor • …Fast homegrown results (you make you own power) • …Handlings perspective (you can build and own it yourself) July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 11

  12. In conclusion • More consistency in policy • Less rules and regulations • ‘it’s easy being green’ July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 12

  14. Jadranka Cace, RenCom • Renewable energy consultant • Owner of Renewable Energy Company (RenCom) • Services: • policy development • product development • project management • Contact: • jadranka@rencom.nl • http://nl.linkedin.com/in/jadrankacace • www.urbanwind.net/pdf/SMALL_WIND_TURBINES_GUIDE_final.pdf July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 22

  15. How small is small? • IEC definition • rotor diameter 0,75 - 25 m • rotor surface 0,5 - 200 m2 • rated power 0,1 -50 kW • NWEA definitions (Netherlands Wind Energy Association) • Small wind turbines in built surroundings: • rated power* ≤ 6 kW (*rated power at 12 m/s) • pole < 15 m • Small wind turbines in industrial and rural areas: • rated power < 30 kW • pole < 25 m July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 23

  16. Dutch small wind turbines with horizontal axis (HAWT) (1) July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 24

  17. Dutch small wind turbines with horizontal axis (HAWT) (2) July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 25

  18. Dutch small wind turbines with vertical axis (VAWT) July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 26

  19. UWT’s: Aspects to consider • Location: wind conditions • Turbine: safety, energy efficiency, noise, vibrations • Spatial aspects: visual effects on surrounding • Energy balance: electricity generation versus demand (saving) • Building integration: load, force, vibrations, contact sound, accessibility • Grid connection: requirements of the local grid operator • Social aspects: building owner, tenants, neighbors • Financial aspects: costs (all-in), incentives, tariff (€/kWh), maintenance • Monitoring: kWh generated, -used, -into grid • Maintenance, guarantees • Permits • Manufacturer/supplier July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 27

  20. Wind conditions h ≥ 20 x h 1. 2. 3. 4. July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 28

  21. Quick scan location yes Open location on the coast? Location OK no no Location higher than 20 m? Measure wind yes no Obstacles in the direction of the prevailing wind? Location OK yes yes Distance >20 times the height of the obstacle? LocationOK no Measure wind July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 29

  22. Stepping stones UWT project • Quick scan location • Pre-selection turbines • Apply for quote • Roof scan • Financial feasibility • Permit requirements • Decision making: ‘go’ - ‘no-go’ • Agreements tenants and neighbors • Apply for permit • Commission, execution • Monitoring, maintenance Artist impression Tulipo turbines, Railway Station, The Hague July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 30

  23. Bottlenecks UWT projects in NL • Market not transparent • No independent market information • Turbines not certified • No dedicated legal framework • No incentives • (Public) acceptance Test field in Schoondijke July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 31

  24. Pilot project The Hague • Target 30 - 50 UWTs • 6 permits in three years • Procedures take up to 1,5 year • 6 turbines installed • 36 turbines in process • 20 turbines refused • Reasons for refusing: • Spatial planning • Anticipated visual disturbances • Protests tenants and neighbors Donqi turbines, Wooninvest, The Hague July 30 2010, DOB Headquarters, NYC 32
